Annoucement: Up-date about 'Free' Online Courses Website ... improvement done!

23-Jun-2013: With the Haze going over 400 psi and Singapore authority advising the populations to stay in-door, I kept myself busy by browsing the Internet ... looking for online course to keep myself occupy.
 
I have notice that there are a lot of additional courses and improvement on the following online website: -
 
  • edX courses (website: https://www.edx.org/ ) : One year plus ago, when I visited edX website, their courses were limited to 'engineering' or 'future techno' but today there is more non-engineering free courses like e.g., Age of Globalization ... a 15 weeks course program. The best part now is they are issuing edX certificate of mastery.


  • Coursera courses (website: https://www.coursera.org/ ) : Noted Coursera has improved their website 'course search' ... more user friendly and some of the courses do state that they will issue 'Statement of Accomplishment' signed by the course instructor / professor. I also noted Cousera has increase it pool of universities/ education partners. [Do take note that one of Cousera signature course is 'Introduction to Operations Management']

  
The above are free online courses provided by 'branded' University ... listed is MIT Open Coursware they provide free online course content ... but I must admit ... it is a great website for teaching material!
